Corsair DDR4 Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8GB) 2666MHz Memory (White)

CORSAIR DDR4 DOMINATOR PLATINUM RAM

A mid-ranged level of memory density this 16GB of Dominator Platinum comes as a pair of 8GB memory sticks, each powered by both DDR4 and Corsair’s Platinum series! Purchasing this memory you can be sure you are gaining premium, reliable memory that can handle hard-core, next-gen gaming and has a good amount of storage room for the average desktop PC user. This Dominator memory has great all-round speeds: despite the MHz being quite high due to the possibilities of DDR4 technology, Corsair have managed to keep the CAS latency at a decent output. This ensures a smooth flow of information.

Experience the True Power of DDR4 RAM

It was 2007 that the DDR3 standard was announced and in the years since then technology has only been pushed further. Eventually the memory standard was pushed to the edge of DDR3 limits, until DDR4 smashed through those limits! Corsair DDR4 doubled the bandwidth and dramatically increase clock speeds, whilst consuming less power than ever before.

INSTALLING DDR4 MEMORY

Motherboard Socket DDR4 Optimization

Pin Out: 288

Dominator Platinum DDR4 form factor is optimized and compatibility-tested for the latest Intel X99 and 100 series motherboards, forging reliably fast performance. With any standard DDR4 DIMM memory socketed motherboard you shouldn’t have any trouble installing the powerful Dominator Platinum DDR4 series.

OVERCLOCKING DDR4 RAM

Pushing RAM Performance Even Further

Corsair have heavily designed the Dominator Platinum DDR4 around high-performance overclocking. Each module from the Dominator RAM series is built with highly-screened memory ICs and an eight-layer PCB, with further overclocking improvments through the efficient heat spreader that provides effective cooling.

PCB System

These DDR4 memory sticks boast an eight layer PCB system. If your computer is trying to squeeze too much information into one layer then you are going to experience a significant rise in temperature. That rise in temperature will evetually cause overheating, resistances changes and things will stop working correctly - utlizing eight layers helps eliminate this problem.

Screened IC's

Each computer memory module is equipped with numerous ICs or Integrated Circuits. Each IC in the Corsair DDR4 Dominator Platinum series is rigorously tested to check for defects in the technology. This is done by applying particular ‘patterns’ to them to see if the outcome has any faulty circuit behavior, and if so determine the cause of failure. Using the best of the best IC’s leads to highly overclockable memory.

DHX DOMINATOR HEAT SPREADER

Cooler Memory for Better Performance

The heat spreader on Corsair Dominator DDR4 memory is made of pure aluminum, creating a faster heat dissipation and a much cooler operation. Usually the overclocking overhead is limited by operating temperature, but not for the Dominator Platinum. Due to the unique design of the heat spreader, the temperature is continuously lowered as heat is pulled away from the ICs and into your system’s cooling path - allowing you to push it even harder!

EASY XMP RAM OVERCLOCKING

Utilize XMP for Overclocking in Seconds

XMP 2.0 is supported by both Dominator Platinum DRAM and Intel’s X99 and 100 series motherboards. Simply select XMP mode in the BIOS and it will automatically adjust to the fastest safe speed for the Corsair DDR4 Platinum kit. You’ll get amazing, reliable performance without lockups or other strange behavior. Enjoy trouble-free, automatic overclocking with the support of XMP 2.0.

DOMINATOR DDR4 LIGHTKIT

With the Dominator Platinum memory you can personalize your modules more than ever before. The Dominator Platinum Light kit contains all you will need to upgrade two memory modules to either Corsair signature Arctic White or Cerulean Blue illumination - or even one of each. Upgrade by simply removing the top bar and install a coloured lens before reattaching the bar. All needed tools are included.

AIRFLOW PLATINUM FAN KIT

Enhanced Memory Cooling

Both quiet operation and optimal cooling efficiency are built into the Dominator Airflow Platinum, plus for added customizing and control the fans work along-side the Corsair Link. The Airflow boasts a PMW-controlled duel fan (50mm) set-up delivering 10.6 CFM at 3,700 RPM each. In order to secure optimum durability at higher temperatures and quiet operation, rather than use standard sleeve bearings the fans use advanced ball-bearings.

The Dominator Airflow Platinum Fan kit is sold with various Dominator RAM or seperately, be sure to check
